Sync Workflow

Purpose

Defines how to synchronize documentation with code changes.

When to Use

• doc sync: Apply pending documentation updates
• doc audit: Detect drift manually (PostToolUse hook removed per Decision #29)

---

Queue File

Location: .doc-guardian-queue in project root

Format:

# Doc Guardian Queue
# Generated: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

## Pending Updates
- README.md:45 | reference | calculate_total -> compute_total
- CLAUDE.md:23 | version | Python 3.9 -> 3.11
- src/api/README.md:12 | path | old/path.py -> new/path.py

---

Update Types

Reference Fixes

• Renamed function/class: update all doc references
• Changed signature: update parameter documentation
• Removed item: remove or mark deprecated in docs

Content Sync

• Version numbers (Python, Node, dependencies)
• Configuration keys/values
• File paths and directory structures
• Command examples and outputs

Structural

• Add missing sections for new features
• Remove sections for deleted features
• Reorder to match current code organization

---

Sync Process

1. Review Queue

   • Read .doc-guardian-queue
   • List all pending items

2. Batch Updates

   • Apply each update
   • Track in change list

3. Commit Strategy

   • Stage all doc changes together
   • Single commit: docs: sync documentation with code changes
   • Include summary in commit body

4. Clear Queue

   echo "# Doc Guardian Queue - cleared after sync on $(date +%Y-%m-%d)" > .doc-guardian-queue
